The bonuses would be checks for actions or knowledge regarding those professions...Giving access to a list of ritual-like profession skill checks would be a neat way to bring these things into the game. And since they don't really affect your character's combat capability, it can be tacked on "as you get them", giving it more of a simulation feel (you exist and interact with the world).. as opposed to a strictly gamist feel from picking them as you level, etc.</blockquote>
